2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
I hope someone can help with the following issue:
I have an employee who is keen to watch F1 (he is racing midget cars in NZ himself), but has to spend almost whole F1 season on board of the vessel. So he asked me if I was recording any races and I wasn't of course
This brigs me to the question - is there any kind of on-line archive to watch/record F1 races of this season?
Thank you anyone who can help.

Bernie wants Mallorca circuit instead of Valencia
Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone is weighing up a bid by officials from Mallorca to try and grab Spain's second race from Valencia in the future.
Amid doubts about the long-term future of the Valencia event, representatives from Mallorca met with Ecclestone at the European Grand Prix last weekend to present plans for an all-new venue that will be completed in 2013.
Joan Jaume Mulet, the mayor of the Llucmajor municipality of the Balearic Islands, has thrown his support behind the project - and has already commissioned Spanish architects Mateo Palmer and Biel Arbona to work on the track.
The 'Circuit of the Balearic Islands' is planned to be 3.6 miles long, and the project has recruited Federico Gastaldi – one of the men who took F1 back to Argentina in the mid-1990s – to act as a mediator in the discussions with Ecclestone.

Three cheers and a whoopee, yeah!!! Good riddance to bad rubbish (hopefully).
Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
But the Mallorcan layout looks c**p
Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
Mallorca may look c**p but Valencia is two more shades of c**p. Anything is an improvement, even if its the supermarket car park near where I live.
Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
I heard that the A1-Ring in Austria may return to F1. Well, lets race the European GP there! Instead of that c**p Valencia circuit.

Red Bull is making a fresh push for engine equalization. (From Autosport)
Personally, I say just lift the stupid 4 year old engine freeze! We all know Ferrari's been working on their engine anyway

Indeed, the engine freeze is silly. It's stifling development and I feel as though aerodynamic spending should be scaled back in favour of more powerful and better engineered engines, which would provide a better show in several ways (blowups, less aero interference meaning more overtaking, the sheer sound of a roaring engine, etc.)

Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
Yeah cf1, I totally agree. I've been saying for awhile now that the rules should be taken back to what they were in the early '90's. Keep all the safety stuff up to current specs of course, but bring the regs back to the early '90's as much as possible. In my opinion, the racing was good (there's got to be some reason everyone refers to the '90's as the good old days), there was a great show in seeing how different engines performed (V-8, V-10, V-12), guys racing with MANUAL gearboxes, and, of course, we all know about some of the magnificent cars which emerged from that era (McLaren MP4/6, Williams FW14, FW15C, Ferrari 641...)cformula1 wrote:Indeed, the engine freeze is silly.

Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
yeah! i agree with both of you. even the brakes IMO need to be made like how they used to be, now the brakes are way too easy to handle IMO
Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
I've said it time and time again - its the brakes. When you can brake with 80m to go, its more difficult to brake 5m later. Brake at 120m and 5m or 10m later would be brave and a good attempt.
Re: 2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread
I was amazed when I watched the Canadian GP. At the end of the backstraight they brake just before the 50m mark. From 310kmh for the chicane! Same in Barcelona at the end of the pit straight. 50 meters before the corner. No wonder Button couldn't get pass Schumacher. Braking distance is too short.

Lotus eyes 15 more staff for F1 team
OK Guys, be ready I need 14 members from F1zone to help the teamLotus is eyeing a few more staff for its burgeoning Formula One team.
An employee joked to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport that the factory in Norfolk is "about as big as the McLaren canteen!".
But it houses 160 staff, with 45 more employees working for Lotus at the Italian Aerolab wind tunnel.
"220 (staff) would be good," said technical boss Mike Gascoyne.
In September 2009, Gascoyne was among the new team's original 4 team members.
